Notes and topics

Eaton encloses an address (record 117291) given by Walter S. Robinson, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Far Eastern Affairs, to the Canadian Club in Ottawa.

"To my mind, Robertson's brilliance of rhetoric falls just short of concealing the fact that he is talking sheer buncombe, which regrettably must be taken as a full and official expression of present American policy on the Far East. If the State Department persists in this policy, I do not see how the United States can escape utter destruction."
